Antony sits down with Bo Loudon to discuss one of the darkest repercussions of social media - the proliferation of child trafficking. Bo speaks to the strengths and weaknesses of his generation, Gen Z, and the hardships of growing up in the digital age.

This generation has limitless access to knowledge and culture at the click of a button. With this knowledge comes great responsibility - because the world now has access to your children as well.

Trafficking is the most concerning and serious issues to rise out of the darkness of the digital age. Many children and parents do not know the harm they are in until it's too late. Lighthouse Edutainment aims a bright light on a dark subject and casts away the myths that plague so many youngsters today.

Antony enters the ring with martial arts legend Jared Gordon.

Most people know Jared as a successful UFC veteran who has gone to war inside the Octagon. What they don’t see is the fight that nearly killed him.

In this episode of The Antony Gordon Show, Jared discusses his struggles with addiction, self-destructive behavior, and the challenges of living in constant crisis. Jared knows rock bottom firsthand. He has lived the cycle of chasing escape, numbing pain, and mistaking chaos for strength. That is exactly why he is using his platform now - not to flex wins, but to warn people where unchecked addiction actually leads.

This conversation goes beyond substances. We get real about modern addictions - including social media - and how constant dopamine hits, comparison culture, and algorithm-driven validation keep people stuck in survival mode instead of building real lives.

Antony is joined by Henry Weingartener, lead guitarist of Laundry Day, together with Charlie Gross and Nick Greco, co-founders of Sounds of Saving, the leading non-profit using music as a tool to help thousands of people with mental health challenges like anxiety and depression.

They highlight the magnitude of the mental health pandemic so many youngsters are dealing with connected to social media - unrealistic expectations, living with a superficial persona in cyberspace, and chasing likes. They also discuss the universal power of music - both as a creative outlet, and a means of expression that parents and educators can use to get in touch with kids.

Antony sits down with the biggest nature & travel influencer on Tik Tok - Josh Platillero A.K.A. MegaAmerican - to discuss the benefits of enjoying nature, beautiful sunsets and the sound of the ocean. These are the antithesis of being locked in your room glued to meaningless images on a small screen disseminated by social media. Josh reminisces on his "50 Sunsets, 50 States, 50 Days" tour as well as his humble beginnings at Enterprise.

Nature triggers the body's natural chemicals of well-being (Serotonin), trust (Oxytocin) and euphoria (Endorphins); while social media triggers the bodies natural chemicals connected to anxiety (Cortisol), stress (Adrenaline) and mood swings (Glutamate).

Nature is free. Social media may cost you everything.

In Episode #1 of The Antony Gordon Show, Antony sits down with Ed Peisner, founder of The Organization for Social Media Safety (“OSMS”) - the leading U.S. organization confronting the real-world dangers hiding behind our screens. This conversation begins at the point most debates skip. In 2017, Ed’s son Jordan was brutally assaulted in West Hills, California. The attack didn’t end there. It was filmed, uploaded, and went viral. The algorithm amplified the trauma. The internet watched. No guardrails. No accountability. Out of that devastation, OSMS was born. Antony and Ed break down how social media has evolved into an unregulated public safety threat, why kids are uniquely vulnerable, and how Big Tech incentivizes and actively rewards harm, humiliation, and outrage. They also unpack what actually works - including OSMS’s consumer-protection model, their work with policymakers, educators, and media, and why incremental fixes are not enough. This episode isn’t about panic. It’s about clarity. Not censorship - protection. Not theory - consequences. If you care about kids, truth, or the future of a generation raised online, this episode is required listening.

Today I have a very special guest on the podcast, Rabbi Reuven Epstein, who is known and respected as an authority on building great marriages. Backed by rabbis worldwide, he and his wife, Gitty, have helped hundreds of individuals and couples create mutual understanding, healthy communication, deep connection, and growing intimacy in their marriage. Many couples are in a state of coexistence where they are both living together, but are in their own worlds and are often out of sync with the individual needs of one another. Marriage is where you’re not only doing the day to day things to keep things function, but you’re tuning into the other person, their needs, wants, and desires, and you’re giving it to them without expecting anything in return, but it’s a direct giving, meaning you’re there by their side and spending your own time with them and for them.

“It’s them vs you, or you vs them and as long as it’s 2 units, the marriage has not yet fulfilled its potential. So just with that basic understanding, most couples start to realize, ‘Oh wow, I never really understood what marriage is.’ Marriage is a lifelong journey of two people slowly meshing and becoming a totally new unit. So when you recognize that, now you at least have your goal, and then you need the steps to make it happen.” 10:05
